When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 365: Chapter 366: Finally, we can brush up on goodwill without any scruples.

ps: Don’t read this chapter, don’t subscribe! It’s stuck due to a system issue, just like the next chapter. I thought it was published, so I reposted it.

I’m really frustrated. Damn it!

After Chen Cang personally conducted the electrocardiogram for Old Master Zheng, he picked up the results and began to examine them.

There were signs of premature beats, arrhythmia, and some myocardial ischemia, but for someone of his advanced age, it was fairly normal.

With a smile, the elderly Zheng Sanshui watched Chen Cang and asked, “Nothing serious, right?”

Chen Cang nodded and honestly replied, “Yes, there are premature beats, some myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia.”

While talking, Chen Cang passed the electrocardiogram results to the elder, who took a glance and immediately smiled, “Not bad, a very good reading!”

Hearing Old Master Zheng’s appraisal, Chen Cang couldn’t help but blush, feeling a bit like he was showing off his skills before an expert.

Thinking this, Chen Cang laughed awkwardly.

After the electrocardiogram is finished, the ECG machine typically provides an automated interpretation.

However, this interpretation is often imprecise, so experienced doctors almost always review the charts themselves, seldom relying entirely on the machine’s assessment.

Old Master Zheng smiled lightly, “Ah, the older one gets, the more ailments there are. Thank you, Dr. Chen, isn’t it? You’ve really done well.”

After speaking, he gave a faint smile, glanced meaningfully at Chen Cang, and then got up and left.

Zheng Sanshui thought highly of Chen Cang’s performance today.

Despite being young, at just about twenty-something, the level of competence he displayed was something Zheng Sanshui admired.

Not to mention anything else, his ability to understand the “Extraordinary Vessels” using a sphygmomanometer was a capability in itself.

Chen Cang didn’t escort him out, as there was another patient waiting for him.

Frankly, Chen Cang hadn’t expected to encounter Old Master Zheng on an emergency call in the morning.

Now serving as the honorary president of Dongyang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the over seventy-year-old still held clinics twice a week. It was likely that on his morning exercise route he passed by and decided to stop in for an ECG.

In fact, with a single phone call, his disciples would have rushed to his home with an ECG machine in tow.

You must realize, being a master of national medicine isn’t just a personal accomplishment, but a collective expertise!

Put plainly, Old Master Zheng is a treasure of Dongyang Province.

Whether it’s Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine, whoever can cure is a good doctor.

Moreover, real medical professionals never reject each other, because all paths lead to the same goal, and every theory is a good method to cure diseases.

Just as Old Master Zheng was doing that morning, even he needed an ECG; it’s the same principle.

Furthermore, the fact that Old Master Zheng could advice Chen Cang to check blood pressure also clearly showed his understanding of the “Extraordinary Vessels” was not limited to traditional Chinese medicine but also encompassed modern medical theories.

Chen Cang had seen many Western medicine experts delve into and study Traditional Chinese Medicine, seeking validation for various disease etiologies and diagnostic methods.

The appearance of Old Master Zheng gave Chen Cang much to reflect on.

…

At this moment, Wu Yushu hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision!

Hospitalization it is!

Health is the capital of revolution. If something happened to himself, then… his family would be ruined. It was better to get the illness treated first.

With that in mind, Wu Yushu began to contact his company.

After making phone calls for several minutes and handing over work, dealing with a plethora of matters,

he finally returned to the office and said, “Dr. Chen, I’ll go home to get my health insurance card and medical booklet, then come back for hospital admission. When I return… should I still come to you?”

Chen Cang nodded, “You go get ready, and when you come back, I’ll contact the cardiothoracic surgery department for you. You’ll need surgery later on, so it’s more appropriate to be admitted there.”

Chen Cang did not insist on having Wu Yushu stay in his department just because he could perform the constrictive pericarditis surgery.

Because treating a disease is not just a matter of a straightforward surgery, but involves many procedures, such as nursing care and the enforcement of medical orders, and so on.

Constrictive pericarditis surgery is not common in emergency situations, so admitting a patient for it in the emergency department could be somewhat irresponsible.

Naturally, Chen Cang would not admit a patient to the emergency department just so he could upgrade his surgery level.

After nodding and thanking Chen Cang, Wu Yushu got up and left.

…

Not long after, it was time to change shifts, and Chen Cang found himself unable to resist staring at Qin Yue, and… he was a bit distracted.

Chen Cang quickly shook his head and concentrated.

But… he couldn’t help but sneak another glance at Qin Yue yet again.

Qin Yue, feeling embarrassed by Chen Cang’s gaze, couldn’t resist glaring at him, which made him behave himself.

Mainly because… Qin Yue also felt a tickling of the heart being watched by Chen Cang.

The two of them were like cats that had stolen cream, sneaking around furtively.

Chen Cang finally understood why office romances were discouraged—they were detrimental to work efficiency.

It was time for the weekly meeting with the matron, Tian Xianglan, so Chen Cang simply opened up his attribute panel and started looking at it.

[Chen Cang, Level: 29:1200/11600. (Class change achieved)

Occupation 1: Thoracic Surgeon: 12 points.

Occupation 2: Cardiac Surgeon (Hidden Occupation): 19 points.]

Chen Cang was slightly startled, he hadn’t expected his cardiac surgery occupation score to overtake thoracic surgery so quickly. Thinking of this, Chen Cang was also somewhat surprised.

It seemed that the recent period had not been wasted at all.

Chen Cang suddenly felt that cardiac surgery was a breakthrough point; after all, in his skill tree, every skill was a purple Master-level skill, and according to the system prompt, a purple skill +4 points.

emmmm…

Just twenty-five cardiac surgery skills were needed to break the 100 occupation score, and then he could smoothly unlock the third occupation.

However, he was only 31 points away from a Level 4 cardiac surgery skill.

This made Chen Cang happy.

Cardiac surgery, being a highly specialized surgical system, meant that most of his operations were Level 4 surgeries, which put Chen Cang in an awkward position; to learn Level 4 skills, he had to have an occupation score of 50 points.

It looked like he would have to surprise Mentor Meng at Dongyang University’s First Hospital soon.

Regarding favorability, Chen Cang had discovered a little trick: licking up was useless and had a limit; once favorability rose to 20 points, licking lost its effect.

However, the shocking effect was great; a shock would add favorability each time. Chen Cang had already figured it out; as long as he shocked Mentor Meng a few times, the favorability could be rapidly increased.

Today, he redeemed the “Heart Auscultation” once, costing him 10 points of favorability; now, Chen Cang’s favorability towards Meng Xi became [Favorability: 40 (remaining 30)]

Chen Cang understood what this meant: it signified that his relationship with Mentor Meng would always stay at 40, but the actual value was only 30.

But…

After seeing this number, Chen Cang fell into thought.

He worried, what if his favorability with Mentor Meng reached 100, what kind of situation would arise?

With that thought, Chen Cang couldn’t help but look up at Qin Yue.

I really didn’t plan on cheating…

The system forced me.

Suddenly, Chen Cang seriously wondered what his current favorability was with Qin Yue.

Chen Cang discreetly checked the favorability.

[Qin Yue: Favorability (Romance): 30.]

Chen Cang was stunned; how had favorability acquired an added “Romance”?

[Ding! Favorability system, there are many kinds, including: familial, romantic, mentor-disciple, friendship, and… various emotions.

Increasing favorability only strengthens a particular type of relationship over time.]

Chen Cang sighed with relief.

He realized he had been overthinking; his and Mentor Meng’s relationship should be that of mentor-disciple.

After all, the thought of his favorability with old Chen breaking through 70 had made him quite anxious.

It appeared he could now unabashedly increase the favorability from now on.

And his favorability with Qin Yue had already turned into Romance.
